Questions about the application and interview process

Our recruitment process varies depending on the type of job and the business we are recruiting for.

If you do not receive a notification, first check that your email address is correct in your Profile page and whether the status of the application is applied. The recruitment team will then assess your application and contact you with the outcome - the time this takes will vary between job roles and Bupa divisions.

You can save the application at any time and return to it at a later date. But once submitted the information cannot be changed. If for any reason you would like to make a change, contact the relevant recruitment contact. You can find this information in the contact details on the job description. This can be accessed by selecting the job title that you are interested in.

If you want to withdraw from an application you have made then please contact the relevant recruitment contact. You can find this information in the contact details on the job description. This can be accessed by selecting the job title that you are interested in.

We make every effort to accommodate requests for alternative interview/ assessment dates but it is not always possible to meet every request. We understand that it can be frustrating if we are unable to arrange another date, however, sometimes we are unable to delay the recruitment process as this may then affect the running of the operation.

The may be various reasons why you haven't had a response relating to your interview. It could be that a decision hasn't been made yet, the start date is being negotiated or the details of the contract are being finalised. You will be informed as soon as a decision has been made.

Once you have been offered the role, we will need to obtain acceptable references before you can join us. The number of references required will vary according to the job role. Please read the Making an application page for further details.

Your start date may also vary depending on the availability of any training you require as part of your new role, or any notice period that you have with any current employer.

If the role is similar to the job to which your application was unsuccessful then you should leave a gap of about six months to enable you to gain the necessary skills and/ or experience that was missing from your initial application. If you feel you have all the skills necessary to be successful in your application, then you are welcome to apply at any time.

It should not make any difference in most circumstances. You should ensure that your previous employment with us is clearly indicated in your CV and that you highlight your experience if you are invited for an interview.
